The festival experience experiments with creating hybrid events that engage our growing community all over the world. With a deeper emphasis on migration, mobility, community, and kinship, this year RSLA collaborates with artistic collectives and initiatives such as Cosmoaudiciones, Soy Division, and SAVVY Contemporary; where different communities of migrant artists, activists, and researchers are invited to build on dialogues of mutual support, solidify connections through understanding of diasporic movements, sharing food, ancestral and kinship ties, while contending with issues of repressed histories, and impact of Western colonialism.
With the support of partners and venues like Cashmere Radio, TAK Berlin, Ufer Studios, Refuge Worldwide, HÖR, Panke and Arkaoda, a number of vibrant neighborhoods and nightlife communities in Berlin are activated, where we continue to discover spaces of exchange through workshops, ideas about music, club culture, and more.
This year’s festival extends to six days, and will continue its role as a discourse platform and significant collaborative endeavor to present the latest in Latin American music, theory, and performance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”has-fullwidth-column” border_top=”1″ border_color=”#000000″ border_style=”solid”][vc_column padding_left=”30px” offset=”vc_col-lg-12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][agni_section_heading heading=”05.11 SATURDAY” heading_size=”30″ divide_line=”” responsive_font_size=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”has-fullwidth-column” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” border_top=”1″ border_color=”#000000″ border_style=”solid”][vc_column width=”1/6″ padding_top=”20px” padding_bottom=”20px” padding_left=”30px” offset=”vc_col-lg-2″][vc_column_text]19:00 CET[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ padding_top=”20px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column_text]Cosmoaudiciones x Magical Hackerism Invocations x Radical Sounds Latin America
Cosmoaudiciones; Listening- Sensing – Receiving
An artistic project by Miguel Buenrostro
With the participation of Laura Robles, Fabiano Lima, Robby Geerken, Tom Kessler and special guests.
Listening – Sensing – Receiving is an improvisation performance that reflects on the journeys of resistance and re-existence struggles through the musical worlds that travel in and out of the Atlantic into the Americas.
The performance acknowledges music which has been static and enclosed in ethnographic collections. Through a process of listening to materials from the Berlin Phonogramm Archiv, the Cosmoaudiciones artists have re-embodied rhythms by improvising and hosting them around notions of non linear time, synchronicity and aural travel.
The sonic presentation imagines musical travel through water flow, waves, currents, oleajes which made possible encounter and exchange. Through music improvisation we recognize the legacies that have brought worlds of meaning in and out of the Atlantic.
Listening – Sensing – Receiving celebrates the final installment of Cosmoaudiciones within the framework of the 4th edition of Radical Sounds Latin America and the Invocations program of the SAVVY Contemporary project in collaboration with panke.gallery, Magical Hackerism or the Elasticity of Resilience.
Hosted by Brandon LaBelle

Beyond shared similarities along natural landscapes, flora and fauna, South East Asia and South America also share sound and musical practices that deal, subtly or not, with the (often violent) devices, legacies, and cultural and political complexities of colonialism. The series will tease out deeper dialogues and improvised performances with sound artists and musicians from South East Asian and South American diasporic backgrounds.

On November 17, we are hosting a workshop at the performing arts center TAK Berlin, located in the heart of Kreuzberg. The Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Jenny Granado (aka KEBRA) will facilitate the workshop Desculonización, which invites participants (with or without dance knowledge) to inhabit the corporal geography, to defend the body as a territory from any place in the world. Decoloniality, post-pornography, and transfeminism are its underlying ideas. Through intense perreo and contact with the sensory plane, the workshop encourages physical synergy between bodies and opens up a deeper access to experiment with resistance, conditioning, movement, and rhythm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ padding_top=”20px” padding_bottom=”20px”][vc_column_text]FREE

Eli Wewentxu (20:30) / M. Takara & Carla Boregas (21:30) / Mabe Fratti (22:30)
RSLA will host the closing concert of this year on November 20 at Arkaoda in Neukölln. The finale will feature live performances by: Guatemalan-born experimental cellist and composer Mabe Fratti—using cello, voice and synthesizers, she sews contemporary elements like shoegaze and dream pop with ancestral influences that go from Gregorian chants to Sephardi music. The Mapuche artist and violinist Eli Wewentxu—whose sound focuses on disarticulating the Eurocentric structure of music and instruments such as the violin. The Brazilian and Berlin-based experimental duo M. Takara and Carla Boregas—their music is the result of an interplay between drums and synths, blending Boregas’s aether and warmth electronics with Takara’s jazzy improvised percussion—somewhere between abstract improvisation and propulsive rhythm. Inspired by the festival’s spirit, Root Radicals, a Berlin–based handcrafted zero-waste food company and the official caterer for RSLA since 2020, will take over Arkaoda’s kitchen to serve delicious latinoamerican food.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_column_text]TICKETS AT
